Knicks' Miles McBride: Ties career scoring high in rout
Rotowire
McBride ended Wednesday's 145-101 victory over the Raptors with 29 points (10-17 FG, 9-14 3Pt), three rebounds, seven assists and one steal across 40 minutes.
Making his fifth straight start during the latest absence for OG Anunoby (elbow), McBride topped 25 points for the third time during that stretch and tied the career-high 29 he dropped on the Warriors on March 28. The nine made three-pointers were also a career high for the third-year guard, and he tied a Knicks franchise record by draining six of them in the first quarter. Over his stint in the starting five, McBride has averaged 44.4 minutes a contest and delivered 21.6 points, 4.6 threes, 3.8 assists, 2.8 boards and 1.0 steals while shooting 55.2 percent from the floor and 48.9 percent from beyond the arc.

Making his third straight start as part of a small-ball Knicks lineup while OG Anunoby (elbow) has been out of commission again, McBride produced his second-best scoring effort of the season -- with the best being 29 points against the Warriors on Monday in his first start. The third-year guard has seen a massive workload in his rare starts this season, and as a result he has averaged 18.4 points, 4.5 assists, 3.5 threes, 3.1 boards and 1.3 steals in 43.0 minutes when he's been in the starting five.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Struggles with shot as starter
Rotowire
McBride finished Tuesday's 116-100 loss to the Hawks with 11 points (4-15 FG, 3-10 3Pt), nine assists, two rebounds, one block and one steal across 46 minutes.
McBride was thrown into the starting lineup due to the absence of Jalen Brunson (knee), and while he dazzled as a playmaker, he also experienced significant struggles with his shot. The Knicks were down their two best offensive players, Brunson and Julius Randle (shoulder), so the loss isn't entirely surprising. McBride might remain in the starting unit against the Magic on Friday if Brunson can't recover by then.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Career-high 21 points in spot start
Rotowire
McBride contributed 21 points (9-22 FG, 2-10 3Pt, 1-1 FT), six rebounds, five assists and two steals over 45 minutes during Thursday's 122-108 loss to the Mavericks.
McBride was inserted into the starting lineup Thursday after All-Star point guard Jalen Brunson was ruled out a rolled ankle he sustained in Tuesday's win over the Grizzlies. McBride took advantage of the opportunity to register career highs in points and minutes played. Brunson is considered day-to-day with his ankle injury, but McBride should get more playing time in the short term if the former is forced to miss extended time.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Struggles with shot
Rotowire
McBride finished with 12 points (5-14 FG, 2-6 3Pt), three rebounds, three assists and two steals in 31 minutes during Tuesday's 123-113 victory over the Grizzlies.
McBride wasn't shy Tuesday, putting up 14 shot attempts. The big story from this game is that Jalen Brunson left early with an ankle injury, and the severity isn't known yet. If Brunson misses time, McBride could step into a big role considering how shorthanded the Knicks currently are.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Scores career-high 20 points
Rotowire
McBride chipped in 20 points (8-17 FG, 4-10 3Pt), two rebounds, one assist, one block and two steals over 36 minutes during Monday's 98-94 loss to Orlando.
Making his second straight start with Jalen Brunson (calf) unavailable, McBride led the Knicks in scoring while setting a new career single-game high, topping the 19 points he produced Saturday in his first start. The third-year guard was already seeing an elevated role in the wake of the Immanuel Quickley trade, and over the last seven games, he's gone an eye-popping 19-for-38 from three-point range, a performance that should keep him in a prominent spot in the backcourt rotation even after Brunson gets healthy.

Knicks' Miles McBride: Scores season-high 19 points
Rotowire
McBride closed Saturday's 106-94 victory over Memphis with 19 points (7-10 FG, 4-7 3Pt, 1-2 FT), six rebounds, five assists, one block and one steal over 38 minutes.
McBride started for the first time this season and didn't disappoint, as he notched his best scoring mark of the campaign while also posting season-best outputs in rebounds and assists, tying his previous campaign-best mark in the latter category. McBride might remain in the starting unit if Jalen Brunson (calf) is unavailable to play against the Magic on Monday.
